On the corner of despair and resurrectionIt's another perfect dayShe stops a blind man and she asks him for directionsThe she walks the other wayI know when I see her faceHere's such a lonely place for herShe can't help but end up lost before she startsShe's got a nervous heartOn the way down from desire to isolationI pass her on the streetShe seems to know me but I sense her hesitation And mistake it for conceitOh we can build these wallsWhy can't we make them fallMaybe we just don't know where to startShe's got a nervous heartOoh, she could do what she wants with mineOoh, she's as sweet as turpentineWatching you walk awayI felt like I feel today And once again I know that ordinary sadnessThat keeps us all apartShe's got a nervous heartIt's just a nervous heart
